Broadcaster Information and
Transition Plan

Will the station be sharing
equipment with another broadcast
television station or stations
(e.g., a shared antenna, co-location
on a tower, use of the same
transmitter room, multiple
transmitters feeding a combiner,
etc.)? If yes, enter the facility
ID's of the other stations and click
'prefill' to download those
stations' licensing information.

No

Briefly describe transition
plan

The licensee will change its main and auxiliary transmitters and its antenna to operate on Channel 16, rather than Channel 48. The licensee also must replace its current STL (WPNJ942), which operates on Channel 46.

The old transmitter cannot be retuned and the manufacturer is out of business. Licensee is seeking to upgrade but has attached quote for replacement equipment. See Rohde and Scwarz Explanation, Quotes and Initial Invoice, attached.

Old antenna cannot be retuned and manufacturer is out of business. The replacement antenna is smallest radome-enclosed antenna Dielectric makes in this series. A radome is essential, given local winter weather conditions.
